Tom's parents arrived on Tuesday night (Steve had a conference downtown this week), so we were lucky enough to be able to show them (and Tom who also came back to town on Tuesday night) Boo at the Zoo!
Spooky!
I'm fairly certain that glow sticks don't belong there... 
Nicholas turned down the free ice cream (it was pretty cold out!), but did take a hug from the North Star penguin.

We also went on a night hike (sorry, no pictures) where the guide took us all around the outdoor enclosures and we peeked in on the resting animals. I learned quite a few things! Did you know that sea lions are really blond, but their fur looks brown when wet? Did you know that snakes are not poisonous, but rather "venomous" because "poisonous" means you ingest the poison, not are injected with it? What else...what else... Did you know there is a type of enormous endangered frog called a "mountain chicken" because it's eaten in the Caribbean islands like we eat chicken in the US? OK...enough random facts.
We had a great, LATE, night. We can't wait to go to Boo at the Zoo next year!
